Welcome to F.A.T. Lab

The Free Art and Technology (F.A.T.) Lab is an organization dedicated to enriching the public domain through the research and development of technologies and media. Release early, often and with rap music. This is Notorious R&D.

OMG!! We have lost contact to one of our founding directors James Powderly! This is one of the last pictures taken in a club in Seoul before he left to visit Pakistan for a show last week. There is the terrible assumption he was taken to vengeance by global forces like Ars Electronica or Transmediale for his actions in 2010. If you have any information on his whereabouts and state of health or heard about strange activities in Pakistan please get in touch with us ASAP!!

This unreleased footage above shows James during Ars Electronica 2010 apologizing to Honda’s robot Asmio who he vandalized during the Prix Ars award ceremony on stage. OMG! (The guy with the beer is not scripted! He is real and claimed to been traumatized by helping during Hans Bernhards and James’ torture performance at Roten Krebs on the same night. But that is another story and great treasure of the FAT garage! Btw, who has the video?!?)
